2.0 out of 5 stars This Book is Sometimes Confusing and Misleading, October 11, 2002
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Body Shaping Diet (Paperback)
I recently lost weight by following a lower carbohydrate diet and
an aerobic exercise program. I then hit a plateau and believed that a diet designed for my specific body type (gynaeoid) would get me back on track to losing weight, however, this book was one big dissapointment and had me hurrying back to "The Protein Power Plan". Dr. Cabot's recommendations for the gynaeoid body type are just too high in carbohydrates and too low in protein. On the one hand she says that the gynaeoid body type is "estrogen dominant" but goes on to advise us to eat soy beans (which are high in phytoestrogens). In one chapter she advises to eat rice, pasta, corn, potatoes (all foods very high in starch) but advises against eating bread!!! I can only comment on the section dealing with my body type, perhaps the diet has worked for others. But what I know for certain is that if I were to follow Dr. Cabot's advice for my body type - it would trigger such a sugar binge that I'd end up where I was several months ago. I simply wasted my money on this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful for all women., April 30, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Body-Shaping Diet (Paperback)
I was very impressed with her ideas. I am a Thyroid type person and learned that I could help myself feel less stressed by avoiding sugar. Her information is very helpful, but it is difficult to put together the information you need because of how the book is structured. It is worth the work if you are serious about finding a better way.

3.0 out of 5 stars Reviewer confusion, January 21, 2006
This review is from: The Body Shaping Diet (Paperback)
I haven't read the book, just want to comment on Reviewer's misunderstanding of phytoestrogens. They bind estrogen receptors and turn them on, but at a much lower rate than the body's estrogen. Since they bind competitively, they in effect turn the estrogen signal down if a woman is high in estrogen. If a woman is menopausal and low in estrogen, they give a little estrogen boost. That's why they are helpful both in PMS and menopause.
